Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel of God,

IzvarO nijaputramadhi yaM susaMvAdaM bhaviSyadvAdibhi rdharmmagranthE pratizrutavAn taM susaMvAdaM pracArayituM pRthakkRta AhUtaH prEritazca prabhO ryIzukhrISTasya sEvakO yaH paulaH

2 which he had promised before by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

sa rOmAnagarasthAn IzvarapriyAn AhUtAMzca pavitralOkAn prati patraM likhati|

3 the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,

asmAkaM sa prabhu ryIzuH khrISTaH zArIrikasambandhEna dAyUdO vaMzOdbhavaH

4 and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;

pavitrasyAtmanaH sambandhEna cEzvarasya prabhAvavAn putra iti zmazAnAt tasyOtthAnEna pratipannaM|

5 through whom we received grace and the office of an apostle in behalf of his name, in order to produce obedience to the faith among all nations;

aparaM yESAM madhyE yIzunA khrISTEna yUyamapyAhUtAstE 'nyadEzIyalOkAstasya nAmni vizvasya nidEzagrAhiNO yathA bhavanti

6 among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ;

tadabhiprAyENa vayaM tasmAd anugrahaM prEritatvapadanjca prAptAH|

7 to all the beloved of God at Rome, called, holy: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

tAtEnAsmAkam IzvarENa prabhuNA yIzukhrISTEna ca yuSmabhyam anugrahaH zAntizca pradIyEtAM|

8 In the first place, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

prathamataH sarvvasmin jagati yuSmAkaM vizvAsasya prakAzitatvAd ahaM yuSmAkaM sarvvESAM nimittaM yIzukhrISTasya nAma gRhlan Izvarasya dhanyavAdaM karOmi|

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how constantly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

aparam Izvarasya prasAdAd bahukAlAt paraM sAmprataM yuSmAkaM samIpaM yAtuM kathamapi yat suyOgaM prApnOmi, EtadarthaM nirantaraM nAmAnyuccArayan nijAsu sarvvaprArthanAsu sarvvadA nivEdayAmi,

10 supplicating that, if it be possible, I may at last through the will of God be favored with an opportunity of coming to you.

Etasmin yamahaM tatputrIyasusaMvAdapracAraNEna manasA paricarAmi sa IzvarO mama sAkSI vidyatE|

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, which may be for your confirmation;

yatO yuSmAkaM mama ca vizvAsEna vayam ubhayE yathA zAntiyuktA bhavAma iti kAraNAd

12 that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each other's faith, both yours and mine.

yuSmAkaM sthairyyakaraNArthaM yuSmabhyaM kinjcitparamArthadAnadAnAya yuSmAn sAkSAt karttuM madIyA vAnjchA|

13 But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also, as among the other gentiles.

hE bhrAtRgaNa bhinnadEzIyalOkAnAM madhyE yadvat tadvad yuSmAkaM madhyEpi yathA phalaM bhunjjE tadabhiprAyENa muhurmuhu ryuSmAkaM samIpaM gantum udyatO'haM kintu yAvad adya tasmin gamanE mama vighnO jAta iti yUyaM yad ajnjAtAstiSThatha tadaham ucitaM na budhyE|

14 I am debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise.

ahaM sabhyAsabhyAnAM vidvadavidvatAnjca sarvvESAm RNI vidyE|

15 So, according to my ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also in Rome.

ataEva rOmAnivAsinAM yuSmAkaM samIpE'pi yathAzakti susaMvAdaM pracArayitum aham udyatOsmi|

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for to every believer, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, it is the power of God unto salvation.

yataH khrISTasya susaMvAdO mama lajjAspadaM nahi sa Izvarasya zaktisvarUpaH san A yihUdIyEbhyO 'nyajAtIyAn yAvat sarvvajAtIyAnAM madhyE yaH kazcid tatra vizvasiti tasyaiva trANaM janayati|

17 For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

yataH pratyayasya samaparimANam IzvaradattaM puNyaM tatsusaMvAdE prakAzatE| tadadhi dharmmapustakEpi likhitamidaM "puNyavAn janO vizvAsEna jIviSyati"|

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, who keep down the truth in unrighteousness.

ataEva yE mAnavAH pApakarmmaNA satyatAM rundhanti tESAM sarvvasya durAcaraNasyAdharmmasya ca viruddhaM svargAd Izvarasya kOpaH prakAzatE|

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest within them; for God made it manifest to them.

yata Izvaramadhi yadyad jnjEyaM tad IzvaraH svayaM tAn prati prakAzitavAn tasmAt tESAm agOcaraM nahi|

20 For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse. (aïdios g126)

phalatastasyAnantazaktIzvaratvAdInyadRzyAnyapi sRSTikAlam Arabhya karmmasu prakAzamAnAni dRzyantE tasmAt tESAM dOSaprakSAlanasya panthA nAsti| (aïdios g126)

21 Because though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful to him; but became perverse in their reasonings, and their senseless minds were darkened;

aparam IzvaraM jnjAtvApi tE tam IzvarajnjAnEna nAdriyanta kRtajnjA vA na jAtAH; tasmAt tESAM sarvvE tarkA viphalIbhUtAH, aparanjca tESAM vivEkazUnyAni manAMsi timirE magnAni|

22 professing to be wise, they became fools,

tE svAn jnjAninO jnjAtvA jnjAnahInA abhavan

23 and for the glory of the incorruptible God they substituted images of corruptible man, and of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.

anazvarasyEzvarasya gauravaM vihAya nazvaramanuSyapazupakSyurOgAmiprabhRtErAkRtiviziSTapratimAstairAzritAH|

24 Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to debase their bodies with one another;

itthaM ta Izvarasya satyatAM vihAya mRSAmatam AzritavantaH saccidAnandaM sRSTikarttAraM tyaktvA sRSTavastunaH pUjAM sEvAnjca kRtavantaH; (aiōn g165)

25 because they changed the true God for false gods, and adored and worshipped created things rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

iti hEtOrIzvarastAn kukriyAyAM samarpya nijanijakucintAbhilASAbhyAM svaM svaM zarIraM parasparam apamAnitaM karttum adadAt|

26 For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust,

IzvarENa tESu kvabhilASE samarpitESu tESAM yOSitaH svAbhAvikAcaraNam apahAya viparItakRtyE prAvarttanta;

27 and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.

tathA puruSA api svAbhAvikayOSitsaggamaM vihAya parasparaM kAmakRzAnunA dagdhAH santaH pumAMsaH puMbhiH sAkaM kukRtyE samAsajya nijanijabhrAntEH samucitaM phalam alabhanta|

28 And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;

tE svESAM manaHsvIzvarAya sthAnaM dAtum anicchukAstatO hEtOrIzvarastAn prati duSTamanaskatvam avihitakriyatvanjca dattavAn|

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, malice, covetousness, wickedness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; backbiters,

ataEva tE sarvvE 'nyAyO vyabhicArO duSTatvaM lObhO jighAMsA IrSyA vadhO vivAdazcAturI kumatirityAdibhi rduSkarmmabhiH paripUrNAH santaH

30 slanderers, hated of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of mischief, disobedient to parents,

karNEjapA apavAdina IzvaradvESakA hiMsakA ahagkAriNa AtmazlAghinaH kukarmmOtpAdakAH pitrOrAjnjAlagghakA

31 senseless, faithless, without natural affection, without pity;

avicArakA niyamalagghinaH snEharahitA atidvESiNO nirdayAzca jAtAH|

32 who, although knowing the ordinance of God, that they who practise such things deserve death, not only do them themselves, but approve of those who do them.
